Grandpa won't need to go to Germany for round 3 with the NAZIs. They are right around the corner wearing MAGA hats.
Generous to presume that Grandpa isn't one of them.
Germany will go to the US to fight Nazism, sounds about right.
Biggest plot twisy
Unfortunately not that big of a twist. It wasn't until wartime that the US fully turned its back on the Nazis, they had an uncomfortably huge amount of support in America.
Yep, was thinking he checks the box next to the (R) on the ballot. Older,boomer generation, into guns pushes the odds strongly in that direction.
E: typo
Hey look, ageism! Remember the participants in the flower power/hippy movements would be in their 80s right about now, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say most of them probably didn't completely flip 180⁰ on their beliefs and become gun toting MAGA voters.
In other words, not old people fit your description

You call out ageism, then mention old hippies who don’t change their beliefs?

My father died a few months before the 2016 election, but he was a grandpa in his 80s and he practically died a socialist. He would have been one of the loudest anti-Trump voices you had ever heard had he been aware enough through his dementia to be politically active. I was able to tell him that a social democrat was running for president before the dementia got too far gone and I think he was able to take it in. I'm glad he didn't get to find out that Bernie lost.
